the type of schema applied to the document is not supported package.json

Question

Can anyone explain what this warning in my package.json file is? I have searched a little bit but I cannot seem to understand if this is just compatibility/strange behavior or if there is something going on worse than that.

I have taken a screenshot of the warning message below. I apologize if this has been answered elsewhere and I overlooked it.

Attached is my package.json in full:

VS still doesn't support draft 7 for json-schemes and is stuck at draft 4-5. Hence the warning.

It's a false positive.

Mike (see below) suggests a work around. Be sure to check it out and give Mike an upvote if it works (so that he'll be the first answer listed).
